Dwight and all:

The above was the problem. Thanks for your quick and deadly
troubleshooting.
We, who pretend to understand ADSM in order to please our management, are
in your debt.

As far as the archive goes, I did think that far (amazing, ain't it?), but
decided to do it this way since we want
both this "full" backup, and also to continue to pick up incrementals as
our testing proceeds.
